Cold FAid
Help the inevitable college cold fade away with Cold FAid, First Aid for the Common Cold. This is a cold relief product using a research-based, daily medication regimen for up to one week to shorten the length and severity of a cold. This essential provides critical early treatment beginning at the first sign of a cold. It uses single-ingredient medications to treat active symptoms. The strategy is effectively optimized with an app, key to managing recovery.
The Cold FAid kit includes: a research-based medical strategy, 4 over-the-counter medications, and a zippered, QR-coded bag. All medications are made by major US pharmaceutical companies.
The Cold FAid app features: medication notifications for a reminder of when to take what medications; daily symptom tracking of progress; identification of early warning signs; and enablement, if needed, of sharing data (daily medications/symptoms) with medical providers.
Benefit is gained from the robust amount of educational information provided on the package insert, the app and website (www.coldfaid.com).
A percentage of the proceeds go to support Families Fighting Flu, a national, non-profit, advocacy organization. Like the common cold, the flu (aka influenza) is a highly contagious viral infection but with the greater potential for life-threatening complications. Families Fighting Flu is dedicated to protecting the lives of children, families, and communities by increasing awareness about the dangers of influenza and the importance of an annual flu vaccination for everyone of age 6 months and older.
